Open up the pic, resize it, and save it again. Now its smaller.

just curious, what did the dash cost you f/ the dealer?

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

whoa i didn tknow u purchased it fromt he dealer.. that mustve been a grip.. but it looks very nice.. props

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

how much was the dash from the dealer?

 

[GSXTCY]

Nice work, surprised you did get new door panels while you were at it. Help out the other non black dash members. I am a black and gray may so I am straight.

yeah how much... the sun is messing up mine and i though of changing it to blk too...

 

[myeclipseisnice]

ok well i thought it would be cheaper down south cus im from jersey, so i called the dealer where my parents live in jacksonville, and that dealer said 565 for the dash, but over here in my area in sayreville nj it was 540, so i said f**k it and i bought it cus i couldnt find black anywhere else, and i rather just get a straight up new one, well worth it.

thats a lot of loot for a color change, that dedication or stupidity one.... Did you run out of performance mods to do?

Anyway, I wonder if Conicelli would be cheaper.

For that much, I will stick with grey hands down. Or from a junkyard.
